Favourite Things: Claire Hammon, Meadowlark

Claire Hammon is one half of the super talented duo that is Meadowlark. (The other half is her husband Greg Fromont.) She’s a major inspiration and has one of the best archives of, and eye for, striking imagery of anyone we know. She’s also involved in the creation of some pretty amazing images of her own – most recently Meadowlark’s latest collection Ritual.

Undone had the special privilege of finding out what some of Claire’s favourite ever images are…

1. This is definitely one of my all time favourite shots. I love it so much, I wish it was ours. I feel like it sums up the ultimate Meadowlark girl. Tough, hot and couldn’t give a shit. It’s Frances Bean Cobain, shot by Hedi Slimane.

2. I don’t know anything about this shot but I love how it looks like a kind of freedom with the potential to be frightening. I like the goth about it, it’s a million miles from here.

3. This is just beautiful. I love this model and cats always make photos better. This has been on our moodboard for a while and I only just found out this year it was shot by Darren McDonald, who we just shot the Ritual campaign with. Pretty cool to get to shoot with someone whose work is all over your moodboard.

4. I’ve loved this shot for so long, I love the bad-arse boots with the girlyy glitter and the movement in the darkness. It seems like a complete accident, but a perfect accident. I recently posted it online and found out it was taken by our friends at Di$count.

5. There’s just something about this shot. I know nothing about it but I’m a sucker for capturing movement in shots. It’s not something that can be created or imitated, just a moment in time.

Well, before everyone was after a miniature landscape for their mantlepiece, my mother showed me how to make a terrarium. When we took family road trips there was always an obligatory detour down a side road and into the bush to fossick for a few wee seedlings and a little…

I’ve done a bit of a turnaround on the book for the coming month. I had something else in mind, but the book I’ve ended up choosing, How To Be Both by Ali Smith was on my shortlist for an earlier Undone Book Club (it was released in late 2014)…

If you only do one thing for yourself today, make it watching the below, the behind the scenes and front of scenes for the exquisite, awe-inspiringly scenic and captivating video ‘Blue Star’, from new music duo Heart People. Made even more wonderful by the fact that half of the duo is Rachel Rutt,…

For cool, wearable street fashion with a chic sporty twist, you can’t go past Rag & Bone. This collection, Pre-Fall 14, was inspired by Nigel Shafran’s photos of kids on English council estates back in the 1990s (which we’ve interspersed between the lookbook shots, we’re pretty sure you can guess…

Books for lovers – lovers of life, lovers of cities, lovers of history, lovers of words. Who cares about your bed, make what’s on your bedside table count this Valentine’s. (We all know reading is sexy, anyway). Persuasion – Jane Austen There is no love story greater than this. Every…

Like dewy-skinned, doe-eyed Danika, one glance at Bella and we decided to leave off hair and makeup for what’s quickly becoming a signature (and hopefully refreshing) all-natural Undone approach. We shot Bella against a backdrop of searing grey concrete under a white-hot sun, which just heightened her already luminous skin and spun-gold…
